CALCUTTA, MARCH 24. On Fridayinst, a young man, of the name of Rohm Bruce Keith Stuart,. a -copvia from New Sown Wales, was brought on shore, from the Phaeton frigate, and lodge& in gaol, by an order * horn Government. It appears that this youncr Man had been con vieted of an offence in England, for which he was transported' to New South Wales; from whence, in • concert with several other convicts, he carried off, in May last, the brig Harlington, and made the best of his wAy for• Manilla. On the passage thi ' ther, when off khe coast of Leuconia, the Dedaig neuse frigate tell in With the brig Harrington, and sent a party of seamen on board, to take posses sion , and, transhipping the party above named tO the frigate, brought him to Prince of Wales's Island, where he was transferred to the Phae:. ton, 'in which frigate he has been brought to this port. Upon being receiyed on bbard the Dedaigneuse, ' -her Commander, CapiPin 'Dawson,• affected by the 4 ' entlemari-like appearance of his prisoner, al .-• !Lowell , him every reasonable indulgence, and ,fore bore 'to place him under personal restraint ; but having made an attempt to escape, in which he had nearly succeeded, Captain Dawson, judged , it ne cssaly to - place him in close confinement. We Understood, that this Unfortunate youth was for merly a Lieutenant in the Navy; that he had the, benefit of a liberal education, and is respeetably con , neEted. • The Hkrington, after being boarded' by a party of British seatreen from the Ifedaigneuse frigate, ran aground, and was, lost, on the coast of Leuconia, when ad the convict parties who were on board el ' - 'to tea their escape. BULLOCK 2'. BROTHEL—On Wednesday last, at North Shields, a bullock broke loose from some butchers, and ran through the street in a furious manner, but his progress Was at length stopped by his takiQg down the Hole-in-the• Wall quay, which was scarcely wide enough to allow* him a free pas sage. To the astonishment of the spedators, when he came to the door of the Hole-in-the-Wallokhich was opened by a sudden twist of his body, he en tered the house, and walked maiestically .up stairs into the kitchen, where the scene of uproar and con fusion that ensued is indiscribable ; the bullock was heard bellowing, the women screaming, and the fur niture breaking in pieces: in - the midst of which cop fusic,n, the floor yielded to the ponderous weight of the animal, who, however, disengaged himself by a desperate plunge, and, breaking down a partition, entered_ the grand chamber of . the Lady Abbess, where he also laid soma valuable furniture under his feet, and then thrust his head through the win dow, %hence he loudly -bellowed defiance to his pursuers. He was at fast secured, and is, perhaps, the, fir't mule visitor that ever got out . of that stew without having his pockets lightened. ) c. The extraordinary success attending the State Lot tery Oihces of liortcrstyr and Co. in 1897 and 1808, augurs they will be equally successful in 1 809 ; they therefore hope to receiiie their usual distinction of favour on the present occasion. • HORNSBY- and: Cp. anxiously wish that the present Lottery s'eCtite their Friends a great proportion of the .209,0001.

THE MOST REV.TUE ARCHBISHorS, AND Rl'• REV. THE liisHoPs OD UNITED KINGDOM OF ENG- LAND AND IRELAND. MY LORDS, I have lately seen in the public prints a letter re trommendini; a national jobitee on rhe - next .sary of our beloved S,,veteiv's Accession to the Throne. Publie, breakfasts in tho morning, and dinners, balls, and iilUminatlons in the eveni ,, g,are considered as.sunable tokens of our joy, and grati tude for the preservation of his valuable life. In con s.qUence, meetings having been and resolu, lions entered into, thus to celebrate the happy event . . Permit a Alinititer of the Establishment, to inquire what you, my Lords, recompeud -on• this occa- sion. The word has proposed its, test of patriotism and loyalty ; what test shall ,be propds,ed to those who are not of the world, by thegovernOrs of their v ene r churCh ?In more than one periodical work, de - v tted to that Chureh'S interests, which indeed are inti mately coonerted with those of Christianity, I-have seen a sensible recoinmendation of public worship,. public subscriptions, and privaw ads of devotion, as far more appropriate to the occasion, than•the tumult and dissipation, the riot and excess with which the plan abOut to be generally adopted, will necessarily_ be attended. In this sentiment I cannot but fully concur, and in this sentiment I . cannot for a moment doubt, my Lords, your coneulrence also. I humbly., therefore, beg leave to suggest, whether an official. call upon your clergy to promote public worship in • your resppaive dioceses on the approaching accession-; day,4night not be highly salutary. True. indeed it is, that a form of prayer is already prepared, and supposed to be used annually in our churches and 'chapels - on the occasion ; but you are not to be told, how commonly, how universally almost, it is . dis used. Your interference therefore in the present in stance, is necessary .to enforce a proper observance of th.„ day. Should you judge otherwise, I hope every clergyman, who has the cute of .souls,.'and 'who casts his eye on this address, will be stimulated by it to the discharge of his own individual duty— w ill summon his parishotterS to the Lord's house,.on the approaching anniversary, and w hile their neighbours are preparing to celebra te the joyful event, after a wordly manner, will " stew them a more excellent Way,'' inviting ilketu to unite with him in public praise to that .Goi3, by whom kings reign, for his past goodness to us, and in prayer for a. continuance . of the dvina blessing to our Sovereign, and our na-. tive land ; the same time r e membering other coon, tries less favoured that, our own, and making col.; lettions in . aid of these excellent Societies, .which have undertaken to communicate 'to them that'most precious of all treasures, the word o f life.

Celebes ; the supply of provisions was rather abundant. The Sultan of Tidore (the natural Sovereign of the greater part of the Moluccas) Was in' great dis tress and degradation, upon the Island of Geby, the easternmost of the Archipelago; ,he has been deprived of ale his Possessions and authority, both in Tidore and. Gilelo, by the Dutch , troops from Ternate, and was wandering about with a few re solute,' but defenceless adherents, anxious for an opportunity of revenge, but entirely destitute of arms, ammunition, and every other necessary means. A quantity of powder, with two guns, was given to bun by the Captain of one of our country ships.— An Ambassador from this Prince is arrived at Bengal. THE FREIVCII PROCLAMATIONS, &c. `ikELATIVE TO THE EXPEDITION. (FROM THE ANEIGU.) • Every thing • that Buonaparte's Government has ' published upon the Expedition, tire measures he has adopted, the details be has circulated relative to the extent of Coe means of resistance, or the enthusiasm with which the French have.marched to the defence • c 4 their menaced coasts, prove. on ~one side, that he wishes to disguise from the French nation the etfeets of his imattovideoce ; and on the other, to .. persuade the English that the whole population of France is ' cages to arm against them, it her territory . be me naced. But if this disposition really existed, it there be in• that nation a spontaneous movement to oppose every attempt, and defend the authority . of the man . who is the author, of her miseries and her slavery, • why -all these Preclainatiens of Mayors, Prefetts, • Ministers, and Generals,? 'Why all those appeals, .which appear destined rather to give rise to the sen timent that products resistance, than to, tined the. impulse of enthusiasm, and whiCh exaggerate the danger, in order. to operate by fear what could not be obtained by affeaion ? Never were there so many Reports, Addresses, and Proclamation's ; and we . may well say that the pen of Buonaparte's writers has been more employed than the sword of his Ge uerals ; yet some of hiS Agents have telt, that by giving to their prcclamattons so lively a coleuring, so animated a tone,, they would give the he to that ardour which is said to have . been excited in France by the appearance of an. English ahoy, and, that it would be concluded from the warmth of their ap . peals,' that there really is • much apathy - among the people. Hence, more adroit or more impudent than the other, they announced that the decrees, by which they order in the instant the•formation of the • National Guard, who are to march in, e-f hours, were rendered necessary to avoid the disorder and confusion which might arise from the eagerness with which the.inhabitants' have proffered their ser'vice's, and flown. to the defenCe of the Country. On this account they 'announce that Napoleao wished to re gulate the zeal and ardour of the frenelrby deter mining the number of the National Guards who might give themselves up to their noble enthusiasm ---that is to say, the Tyrant profited by this circum stance to enrol by violence the parents of the Con scripts, whom he had . sent Chained to the Banks of the Danube or the Tagus; and whilst the latter leave their native land without arms to defend or cultivate it, and dye with their blood, or bleach with their pones, a foreign soil, he forces the parents to take tin arms also, and abandon their homes, to re place the regular 'army, which is making distant . conquests, .whilst France is operi.to the attempts of the sthallest army that might be landed on her coasts. Buonaparte well knows that this is the first idea that must strike.t,he French, when they were informed of the landing-of the English army; and to prevent - the reflections or discontents that. might result- from it, he takes care to tell the Senate, through Clarke and Carnbaceres, that " before he ei!.ted. France,. his paternal solicitude for his subjects to - esaw every thing; and disposed of his reserve in such a manner, that the French territory could Slot be insulted." Yet such were the .effects of this. solicitude, that Aht werp. and the whole surrounding. country,„„all the neighbouring coasts .were defended, as le has since avowed, only by a few garrisons and national guards inexperienced. in war. It suited : him at the begin ning of the invasion of Zealand, to pro% e that his foresight,had rendered - the attempt or the English useless and. impotent, bat now that the Expedition has not had the result he feared, he wisnes to sliew that the English dared not attack national guards without experience. _Fouche Was wanting iii pru dence and discretion, when he said to the - en) of Paris--" Our enemies have too often accused us of 115.0 rig no energy, except in tumult."' It is easy to perceive that this expression was dielated by the dis- : satisfaCtion which the apathy of the Parisians had on this occasion excited in the mind of the Minister of the dud that. he attributed to the enemies of France a censure which sprang from his own heart, but the, whole odium of which he , was.atraid to in cur. If the Parisians were so zealous, why endea vour to ‘vound their self-love.by.reminding thesis of the insulting language of their enemies 3. POLICE.
